Excellent Hotel, great place to stay

What a great hotel in a fantastic location. Extremely friendly staff and loads of charm throughout the hotel. The rooms were nice sized and clean. Ronda is a charming city and Hotel San Gabriel reflects this. All of the local attractions are within walking distance from the hotel.

I highly recommend this hotel.

My family stayed at Hotel San Gabriel and enjoyed it. The hotel offers spacious rooms with dark-wood details. Each room also came with a large closet and a writing desk. Old-world charm for a visit to the countryside. The staffers were polite and helpful. It's located in the old town, near all the sights you would want to visit. I had read rave reviews about its breakfast, so my family ate at the restaurant to see what the fuss was about. The freshly baked bread, rich honey, cereal and yogurt were good, but not the great breakfast I had read so much about. Regardless, I would stay at the hotel again. Highly recommended.

Very nice hotel. This is what every cute bed and breakfast in California wants to be when it grows up. The room was clean and nicely furnished; the bathrrom was clean and modern; the living room always had a fire burning and comfortable couch for browsin the library. Nice court yard where breakfast and If I remember correctly someon'es accomodations. Very pleasant staff.

My husband and I could not have been more pleased with our stay at the delightful San Gabriel in romantic Ronda. Staying at the hotel was like staying at the home of a friend – one with exceptional taste. Tucked away on a narrow, orange-tree shaded street in Ronda’s old quarter, this historic whitewashed house exudes warmth and charm. When we stepped inside, my husband and I enjoyed a warm if slightly rushed greeting from the son of the owners of this family-run property. We were given directions to free parking a short walk from the hotel and led to our second-floor superior room.

Filled with books and art magazines, tapestries, prints, photographs and antique furniture, the hotel’s common areas are equally inviting. Take the time to explore, and you’ll find plenty of places to curl up and read, a shaded terrace, free Internet access, a bar area with an ‘on your honor’ system, and a screening room decorated with old film posters. The hotel is spotless and well kept throughout.

The 6 EUR breakfast is light – bread, croissants, coffee, orange juice and yogurt – but of exceptional quality. The juice is freshly squeezed, and the bread is local, freshly baked and served with delicious homemade marmalade and preserves.

At just over 100 EUR per night, the hotel was an incredible value and made for one of our most pleasant stays in all of Europe – the perfect romantic retreat.

Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Though it’s small, Ronda offers far more than its celebrated bridge, including a Michelin-starred restaurant, spectacular views of the verdant surrounding landscape, and interesting remnants of its Moorish past such as well-preserved Arab baths. Ronda is located in one of the greenest areas in all of Spain, making for breathtaking scenic drives and hikes. It’s also perfectly situated for exploring the nearby ‘Pueblos Blancos’ such as Arcos de la Frontera and Grazalema. The friendly Belgian receptionist recommended a visit to Setenil with its unique troglodyte dwellings.

We arrived in Ronda by train and I called another hotel first but they didn't have a room. Hotel San Gabriel was our 2nd choice and they had a room for the night. I am so, so glad we stayed at the Hotel San Gabriel. It was almost like staying at a B&B yet offering the privacy and convenience of a hotel. People are friendly, helpful and professional; hotel is small, quaint, warm and charming. Beautifully decorated in a classy Spanish flavor. We stayed in a superior room. The location is also perfect. Tucked away a half block from the main street so it's quiet at night but very convenient for seeing the old town sights of Ronda. Perfect location. Several famous people have stayed there. You'll be very pleased at the hotel.

This hotel couldn't have been better placed in the old town. Everywhere was within a few minutes walking distance. Everything worked to our advantage: the friendly and helpful (English-speaking) Hilde who took our telephone booking, showed us where to park (for free) and showed us to our lovely room with fantastic bathroom. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and most spoke excellent English. The breakfast was first-rate: fresh baked breads and croissants, locally sourced honey and preserves, cheese and pate. The honey was so good that we wanted to bring some home so Hilde contacted the supplier (Paco) who dropped some in to the hotel for us on his way to a concert. That's the kind of service they provide at the San Gabriel: they really want every guest to feel at home. There is a comfortable lounge, a cinema and an internet corner so that you can stay in touch if you really need to. I couldn't fault this place. We stayed 5 nights and wondered whether this might be too long. It wasn't. Although you can explore Ronda in a couple of days it's a great base from which to explore the surrounding countryside and when the day trippers go home you have the restaurants to yourself.
